- I live in a highrise condo and the washer drain worked perfectly lastweek and 10 years prior. I wonder if the vent pipe is clogged and other residents are having the same problems.

The drain pipe in the house may not have a local vent pipe to relieve sewer air pressure or the pipe diameter needs to be increased. I have found that if the hose end is tied into the house drain instead of just sticking it into the pipe end, (sort of like the loose fire-hose nozzle that flips back and forth) that the drain will accept the flood of water. Try that before calling your friendly plumber.

- Isn't there someone that is employed to look after problems in the building like this? Surely each resident is not responsible for maintaining the sewer.

The machine's pump doesn't produce a lot of pressure but it does produce more volume than a faucet. I suspect your drain needs cleaning.
